Arsenal look to Juventus forward

Arsenal are in hot pursuit of Juventus forward Sebastian Giovinco to cover for the recent loss of Theo Walcott.

Arsene Wenger, who is an admirer of Giovinco, will try and tempt the Bianconeri fringe playerto the Emirates after losing Theo Walcott for six months to a knee injury this week, thus ruling him out of the rest of the season and the World Cup.

According to the Sky Sport, the London club has been in contact with the agent of Giovinco, though no official offer has been made yet.

The talented attacker has struggled to establish himself as a starter in the Juventus team, and with the World Cup coming up, a move to Arsenal and potential first team football may be hard to resist.

Giovinco has only made eight appearances in the Serie A this season for the Old Lady.
